European Citizens' Initiative

Give your support !

EVERYONE(!) I’m blazing this post because at this pace we might barely hit 1,000,000 signatures—or just fall short. PLEASE reblog this post, no matter where you are from, so we can reach as many EU citizens as possible and end this horrible practice!

heyyyy internet leftist… i can't help but notice that none of your posting involves confessing to crimes on the internet, or revealing details about your on-the-ground activism that could be used to find you in real life? seems suspicious, i'm going to assert that all you ever do is post

hi y’all i just wanted to put you onto this fundraiser for the buffalo nations grasslands alliance. they’re trying to recoup some of the funds for black-footed ferret conservation on tribal grounds that the trump/musk administration has frozen, which is impacting not only the conservation efforts themselves but the livelihoods of the people working on them. the frozen grant is 1.1 million but this fundraiser has a goal of 50,000.

the fundraiser has 24 days left and has only reached 2% of its goal with 11 donations. black-footed ferrets are an endangered lazarus taxon that was thought to be extinct from 1979-1981 before being rediscovered by accident. they’re a miracle of conservation and it would be horrible to lose them for good, not to mention (again) the impact of people working with these animals losing their jobs which is outlined in the fundraiser link. indigenous-led conservation efforts are extremely important for a wide variety of reasons and as someone in the zoology area i feel obligated to share this fundraiser to contribute to those efforts.

i know that things are hard right now and there’s a lot of people and organizations all across the world that need help, so don’t feel pressured BUT if you have extra money and you can contribute to this fundraiser or share it with people who can that would be great.

super cute black-footed ferrets ^

Boosting this here- black footed ferrets are perhaps a little more charismatic than we usually allow here, but they need all the help they can get!

Calling all Brits on this hellsite.

We all saw Elon Musk do the nazi salute at the Trump inauguration. We know that he is influencing and fanning the flames of right wing political parties.

And that very well may include ours.

Because Elon Musk has pledged to donate $100 million to the Reform party. He has since mentioned that it might be hard to give such a large sum now.

But I don’t think we should take our chances. And I think we can agree that letting billionaires influence our countries politics is a terrible idea.

If you also agree here’s a link to a Parliament petition.

It calls for the government to remove loopholes that allow wealthy foreign individuals to make donations into UK political parties (e.g. by funnelling through UK registered companies).

As it is a parliament petition the government are required to debate it in parliament. But for that to happen it needs to reach 100,000 signatures.

Non British folk I’m afraid you guys can’t sign but I encourage you guys to reblog so that more people can see this.

For Us, By Us: Indigenous-Powered Solar Energy in the Amazon - Amazon Frontlines

For Us, By Us: Indigenous-Powered Solar Energy in the Amazon As Indigenous nations of the...

At Alianza Ceibo we work to directly address the needs of communities, strengthening their resilience and relations along the way. Prioritizing solar installation comes partly from a recognition that fossil fuels promote relationships of dependence. Fortunes have to be paid monthly to oil corporations or utilities firms, and communities remain reliant on an external energy grid. Price hikes and energy blackouts are common.

Over the last years, we have installed over 120 solar systems across four Indigenous nations in the Amazon. 

These systems are procured, installed and maintained by our own communities, strengthening their self-governance and energy sovereignty in the process. Today, the solar project is led by a technical team composed of Indigenous youth from the Siekopai, A’i Cofán, Siona and Waorani nations. 

As Hernan Piaguaje, a core team member explains, “We don’t need people from outside doing this work anymore, as our people have this capacity and knowledge. They know how to install these systems, and that’s one of the strengths that we’re promoting here at Alianza Ceibo”.

Communities allocate the solar systems based on need, not based on who can afford them. Already, systems have been installed in the homes of elders, family homes, and in key communal buildings such as schools and women’s associations. 

As Indigenous nations of the Upper Amazon, we are well acquainted with the brutal consequences of fossil energy. Over decades, oil companies have trashed the rainforest, impoverishing communities and leaving a legacy of toxic devastation.

Our decentralized renewable energy system involves an entirely different model of energy, led and owned by communities, and synced to the rhythms of nature. After all, no one can own the heat of the sun or the force of the wind.

Plastic-eating insect discovered in Kenya

Natural ‘plastic eaters’ could help in the fight against pollution in Africa.

There’s been an exciting new discovery in the fight against plastic pollution: mealworm larvae that are capable of consuming polystyrene. They join the ranks of a small group of insects that have been found to be capable of breaking the polluting plastic down, though this is the first time that an insect species native to Africa has been found to do this.

Polystyrene, commonly known as styrofoam, is a plastic material that’s widely used in food, electronic and industrial packaging. It’s difficult to break down and therefore durable. Traditional recycling methods – like chemical and thermal processing – are expensive and can create pollutants. This was one of the reasons we wanted to explore biological methods of managing this persistent waste.

I am part of a team of scientists from the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology who have found that the larvae of the Kenyan lesser mealworm can chew through polystyrene and host bacteria in their guts that help break down the material. Read More

Week 3 of @prettywarriors ‘s Mini Mahou March was Solarpunk Warrior~

It was a lot of fun studying the different fashions and inspirations for this! I haven’t thought of a name yet for her but she charges her weapons through the flowers in her hair and outfit!

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters
